Washington and Seoul have agreed to a new cost-sharing agreement for US forces based in South Korea. Officials from the two countries made the announcement on Sunday.

 

The US State Department said in a statement that the increase in Seoul’s share of the cost was “meaningful” but was not more specific.

 

The U.S. keeps around 28,000 troops in South Korea to help deter potential aggression from North Korea, a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean War.

 

But how much South Korea should pay for the American military presence was a thorny issue in bilateral relations under the Trump administration, which often asked its Asian ally to drastically increase its share.

Switzerland has narrowly voted in favour of banning face coverings in public, including the burka or niqab worn by Muslim women.

 

Official results showed the measure had passed by 51.2% to 48.8% in Sunday's referendum.

 

The proposal was put forward by the right-wing Swiss People's Party which campaigned with slogans such as "Stop extremism".

 

The Swiss government had argued against the ban saying it was not up to the state to dictate what women wear.

 

The proposal in Sunday's referendum did not mention Islam directly and was also aimed at stopping violent street protesters from wearing masks.

 

However, the vote was widely referred to as "the burka ban".

It's official -- Taylor Swift, BTS and Billie Eilish are among those who will be performing at the 2021 Grammys.

 

The Recording Academy said Sunday that the artists will be "coming together, while still safely apart" for the awards show March 14.

 

The ceremony, which celebrates the best in music, was postponed from January 31 because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"The Daily Show's" Trevor Noah is slated to host the event.

 

So far, the year's top nominee with nine nods, Beyoncé, is not scheduled to perform on the show.

 

Taylor Swift is widely expected to win album of the year for the third time with her hit album "Folklore".
